E-Tools Mod

Are your chests full of redstone again? Do you want tools better than diamond tools without getting a huge mod?

Well, E-Tools (Energy Tools) are the tools for you! This small minecraft mod features five new items that implement the basic tool types, but with special abilities that can burn off that redstone.

By default, all E-Tools have the same effectiveness and durability as diamond tools. When they run out of durability, they become defective (same stats as iron, but with infinite durability) instead of breaking. Defective tools can be upgraded back into E-Tools by using a repair recipe. Depending on the settings you have assigned the tools using the ETData.txt config file, the recipe may be either a single redstone block or eight redstone blocks. Furthermore, depending on the same setting, tools may be repairable on an anvil with either redstone dust or a redstone block.
